Wednesday 5th April, and it’s the start of the VCL League. That’s the format of 2 singles, ladies and gents, 1 pair, 1 trip and 1 rink of 4. On Wednesday we played the Emerald Isle at home and what a start to the season, I get to introduce the whole team as winners. Ladies Singles – Janet Parsons 21- 5, Men’s Singles – Garth Slater 21-5, Pairs – Margaret MacLaughlin & Peter Parsons 18-13, triples Norman Ship, Tom Spencer & John Rae 37-11, and our rink of Trevor Stemp, Mike & Carol Smith with Margaret Finlayson 18-11 giving us the maximum of 12 points.
Friday saw the start of the Harrier trips league, and we were at home to Greenland Warriors and had another fine result, losing on only 1 rink by 3 shots. Our winning trips being Barbara Forshaw, Shirley Hadaway and John Rae 24-10, Janet Parsons, Norman Ship and Garth Slater 16-13, Trevor Stemp, Wendy Latham & Len Daniels 26-14, and finally Kath Manning, John Morgan & Peter Parsons 24-9 giving us a overall shot difference of 99-64 and 10 points to 2.
Just a reminder of Monkey Racing Night Wednesday 17th April in the pool bar, all are welcome.
Well done to all a splendid start to the summer season and good luck to all those competing in the Champion of Champions at Greenlands, where your support will be appreciated.
